It has been suggested that global warming has caused the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) climatic events to become more frequent and intense. However, several ENSO events that occurred before 1880 had effects at least as intense and wide-ranging as those associated with the current event. This is the case particularly for the events in 1396 (ref. 1), 1685-88, 1789-93 and 1877-79. Here I discuss archival evidence, notably from South Asia and above all for the 1789-93 ENSO, for the strength…

The Great El Niño of 1789–93 and its Global Consequences: Reconstructing an Extreme Climate Event in World Environmental History
This article explores the global dimensions of an extreme climatic anomaly characterised by a series of El Niño events observable during the late eighteenth century. While similar events, comparable…
Climatic variability related to El Niño in Ecuador − a historical background
Abstract. This paper reports on an investigation into the chronology of El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events, during the period from the arrival of conquistadores in Ecuador in 1532 until the…
Early Pliocene (pre-Ice Age) El Niño-like global climate: Which El Niño?
Paleoceanographic data from sites near the equator in the eastern and western Pacifi c Ocean show that sea-surface temperatures, and apparently also the depth and temperature distribution in the…
El Niño and Southern Oscillation (ENSO): A Review
The ENSO observing system in the tropical Pacific plays an important role in monitoring ENSO and helping improve the understanding and prediction of ENSO. Occurrence of ENSO has been explained as…
A severe drought during the last millennium in East Java, Indonesia
The Little Ice Age (LIA) is characterized by widespread northern hemisphere cooling during a period of reduced radiative forcing. Sediment records from three crater lakes indicate that the most…
Austral summer of 1998: Observations on El Niño and the North Patagonian Icefield
In February 1998 we visited the Nef Glacier (47”07’S, 73’12’W) on the east side of the North Patagonian Icefield, in southern Chile, as part of a long-term project aimed at investigating the links…
Monsoon drought over Java, Indonesia, during the past two centuries
[1] Monsoon droughts, which often coincide with El Nino warm events, can have profound impacts on the populations of Southeast Asia. Improved understanding and prediction of such events can be aided…
A paleolimnological record of rainfall and drought from East Java, Indonesia during the last 1,400 years
Variations in the location and strength of convection in the Western Pacific Warm Pool (WPWP) have a profound impact on the distribution and amount of global rainfall. Much of the variability in WPWP…
Does El Niño-Southern Oscillation affect the precipitation in Korea on seasonal time scales?
A number of studies in the past two decades have attempted to find the relationship between the precipitation in Korea and the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on various time scales.…
A global context for megadroughts in monsoon Asia during the past millennium
Proxy reconstructions of precipitation from central India, north-central China, and southern Vietnam reveal a series of monsoon droughts during the mid 14th–15th centuries that each lasted for…
